Avi Gil Reveals Tensions Between Netanyahu and Security Chiefs
Avi Gil, the former military secretary to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has broken his silence after three years, revealing a complex web of tensions between Netanyahu and the security establishment. Gil’s testimony, as reported by Unknown Source, sheds light on the events leading up to the October 7 disaster, including warnings of national resilience fraying and the erosion of Israeli deterrence. Gil’s account suggests that Netanyahu was aware of the threats but believed the security establishment was exaggerating, and that the prime minister’s policy of restraint may have contributed to the mistaken doctrine that led to the disaster.
